Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

During the few days when Zhou Weihan went to Pu County to negotiate, the first group and the fourth group quickly gained a firm foothold in the triangle area of ​​Neihuang, Qingfeng, and Nanle.

After Gao Shuxun heard the news, his attitude also changed three times a day. The next day after the negotiation, our comrades detained in the New Eighth Army were released.

And to reveal the truth, our comrades who fell into the hands of other recalcitrant armed forces and Sun Liangcheng's department were killed by the other party.

No matter how angry Zhou Weihan was in his heart, facing Gao Shuxun's cooperation, he immediately stated that in the future in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, the Eighth Route Army will still need to join hands with the New Eighth Army to fight against the enemy.

After Zhou Weihan left with his staff, Gao Shuxun sneered and said, "It seems that this matter can't be settled, it's not good to provoke anyone, we have to provoke the Eighth Route Army!"

"Order the troops to shrink their forces and concentrate them in Pu County!"

After hearing this, Zhang Hanquan, the commander of the 29th Division, said: "Junzuo, why don't we just sit back and watch, and I'm afraid Shangfeng will be held accountable!"

"Huh, how to pursue responsibility? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. He, Jiang, can reach out to Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Don't worry, from now on, only our New Eighth Army and one national army will be left in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. Jiang People will only draw us in even more!"

After Gao Shuxun finished speaking, he thought about it and didn't want to offend all the people, and then said: "Go and inform the militia in Zhinan that they can withdraw to Pu County. As for Sun Liangcheng and the militia in other places, it's up to their fate! "

1941 1 Month 10 Day.

After a few days of careful deployment in advance, Zhou Weihan was keenly aware that the New Eighth Army and the recalcitrant armed forces under its command were successively shrinking their forces, and Gao Shuxun frequently showed his favor.

Zhou Weihan felt that it was not too late. Before the Japanese army knew the route of the Eighth Route Army, it was a good opportunity to resolve the stubborn armed forces in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area that were in conflict with the Eighth Route Army.

Later, the Tainan and Luxi military regions jointly reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and reported in detail the situation in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. The headquarters immediately approved the anti-stubborn operation in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions.

The Eighth Route Army participating in this anti-stubborn campaign was organized into three columns and one mobile detachment.

The West Road Column was composed of troops from the Tainan Military Region that arrived in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area. The initial target was directed at the stubborn army in the Zhinan area, as well as breaking through the Japanese troops in Shangguan Village, Hua County, PY Liangmen, and Baidaokou, Xun County. A blockade line composed of more than a dozen strongholds.

Then he went south to Southwest Shandong, defeating more than [-] local armed forces headed by Wang Zikui, the Commissioner of Southwest Shandong of the Nationalist Government.

The middle column is composed of the fourth regiment and the base regiment of the Tainan Military Region on the north bank of the Zhanghe River. The daimyo crossed the Zhang River, and then the base regiment moved eastward to attack the stubborn troops of Qi Zixiu's troops entrenched in Guanxian, Tangyi, and Shenxian counties in the northwest of Shandong. Armed offensive.

The main force of the Fourth Regiment went south, aiming at Sun Liangcheng's troops entrenched in Chaocheng, Fanxian, and Guancheng.

The East Road Column consisted of the six regiments of the newly formed Third Brigade and the Third Teaching Brigade of the Luxi Military Region as the main force, marching westward along the way, forming a pincer attack on Sun Liangcheng's troops with the Fourth Regiment.

The First Brigade of the Hebei People's Army and the local armed forces stayed in the base area to block the Japanese troops who might advance westward from Tai'an for reinforcements.

The Ranger Detachment was composed of the [-]th Teaching Brigade of the Huxi Base, and the [-]th Regiment of the Department went northward to stop the reinforcement of the Japanese army in Yanzhou.

The [-]th and [-]th regiments concentrated their superior forces to wipe out the stubborn troops of Feng Zigu and Zhu Shiqin who were entrenched in the Huxi area.

In the anti-stubborn battle of the Tainan Military Region, there were about 5500 troops in the West Column, and nearly 6000 troops from the Wuqin Division in the Central Column.

The Luxi Military Region dispatched six main regiments with a strength of nearly 11000.

The Huxi base taught the two main regiments of the Fourth Brigade to directly participate in the battle, with a strength of more than 3000 people.

A total of 25000 people participated in the battle.

The general battle plan has been determined. Although Wang Yigong and others look down on the combat effectiveness of the stubborn army, they still have concerns.

"Detachment Captain, although the New Eighth Army has shown goodwill to us, the New Eighth Army is the main force of the stubborn army in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. Are we really going to expose our backs to the New Eighth Army? If we launch a sneak attack from the side, we will be in a dilemma!" Wang Yigong said worriedly.

"That's right, the recalcitrant armed forces commanded by Gao Shuxun are merciless towards our Eighth Route Army comrades in the Zhinan area, so let him go like this?" Jing Dagang said.

"What? All of you really want to eat like a fat man in one go. Your appetite is big enough, so you're not afraid to hold on!" Zhou Weihan looked at the crowd and said.

"The combat effectiveness of the New Eighth Army is a bit stronger than that of the puppet army, and the combat effectiveness of the other recalcitrant armies under its command in the Zhinan area is even worse, but all of them are rich, especially those armed by the landlords!" Tasted the sweetness in the battle.

One thing, Zhou Weihan made a wrong estimate. Although the local landlords' armed forces were not capable of fighting, their equipment was not bad, and some were even better than the New Eighth Army.

These landlord armed forces are composed of the landlord's servants and guards, combined with the clan and township party, to form an armed force.

It was used by the landlords to guard their homes and protect their own interests. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, they kept a batch of weapons and equipment. After the devils came, some landlords tried their best to get in touch with the devils and bought a batch Weaponry.

Therefore, some landlord armed forces in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan region are not only stubborn troops, but also secretly defected to the devils, but now they are mixed with the stubborn military forces, taking the opportunity to develop against the Eighth Route Army, disrupting the situation and destroying the relationship between the two sides.

"In the Zhinan area, the recalcitrant armed forces that withdrew to the vicinity of the New Eighth Army will let them go this time, and those who are still trying to resist to the end will be eliminated on the spot!" Zhou Weihan was also deeply troubled by the intricate relationship among them, and simply cut across the board.

"But the New Eighth Army can't move. Gao Shuxun is not Shi Yousan. He didn't openly take refuge in the little devil. He is someone our Eighth Route Army can fight for. In the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, our Eighth Route Army and the national army will join hands to fight against the enemy!"

"In this anti-stubborn campaign, what we have to do is to prune the crooked branches. This is also a disguised form to help Gao Shuxun gain the command of the national army in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area. Gao Shuxun is a smart man, so there is no need to send troops to watch! "Zhou Weihan said.

"What about the little devil?" Jing Dagang asked.

"The little devil will definitely send troops for reinforcements, but in the early stage, he will definitely sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so let's be quick, and fight the stubborn army, and the little devil will be caught off guard!"

"In a word, the principle is that what we attack must be rescued. If the Jiluyu base area is destroyed by the stubborn army, we don't need to divide our troops to stay behind. Wherever we fight, the little devil will follow!"

In order to prevent the dispatch of Japanese troops from the First Independent Mixed Brigade in the Anyang area of ​​northern Henan, Zhou Weihan ordered the base regiment of Ci County to cross the Zhang River to launch a tentative attack on Anyang. The railway raided.
